Can a Danville Personal Trainer Help Tone your Abs and Get you in shape
The following article “Exercise Myths: 6 Ab Mistakes That Are Holding You Back” is the biggest bunch of crap you will ever read??? it appears on yahoo at http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/exercise-myths-6-ab-mistakes-that-are-holding-you-back-451159/ is total garbage and why more of you out there stay unfit , fat, and will never get results! Unless you find someone like me to train with and learn the truth from. Just the way it is.
1. Myth: To get rock-hard, you have to work your abs every day.
Why: Abs need rest and recovery: It’s only during rest that your muscles build. “Three to five 
days a week of consistent, dedicated abdominal training should get you strong, sleek abs,” says Kathy Kaehler, trainer and author of Kathy Kaehler’s Celebrity Workouts.
WRONG: Kathy…if she knew anything would know…You should work your abs every day they rest when you are asleep…dumb ass!
2. Myth: A good ab workout takes half an hour.
Why: “If it takes you that long to feel them working, you’re doing something wrong,” says Kaehler. “I trained Jennifer Aniston about three days a week, and we did no more than five minutes of abs each time.” Check your form, don’t use momentum and focus on quality rather than quantity.
WRONG: Every exercise you do works your abs and you should spend 10-15 minutes on abs through your workout…and a monkey could train Jenifer Aniston and get results.
3. Myth: Super-slow crunches make you stronger.
Why: Taking as much as a minute per crunch doesn’t make you stronger than regular crunches do. In fact, ultra-slow ab work is less effective. Ideally, your workout should help you do everything better, from kickboxing to picking up a suitcase – neither of which you do in slo-mo.
NOT WRONG: However Variety is truly the spice of life…use this in your fitness life and you will be fit , trim , sexy, and slim.
4. Myth: The best time to train your abs is at the end of your workout.
Why: “It makes no physiological difference when you train abs, it only matters that you do it consistently,” says abs researcher and physical therapist Gilbert Willett, M.S., associate professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. So the best time to work them is simply whenever you’re most likely to do it. “But if you do abs at the beginning of your workout, make sure you warm up first. Getting blood moving prevents many types of injuries during a workout.”
Yes just train consistently. Diligently and have a goal. Do you want a fitness models abs? Flat Tummy? What do you want them to look like and train according to that.
5. Myth: You can’t get a six-pack by doing Pilates.
Why: “Pilates exercises your core, so if you practice it regularly and combine it with diet and cardio, it can give you a six-pack,” says Kimberly Lyons, a personal trainer in L.A. But Pilates isn’t a six-pack guarantee. “How your abs look has a lot to do with your genes, how lean you are, how long your torso is and how tall you are.“
TRUE Think Genetics, but believe you can get a six pack if that’s your goal and work as if its possible and you will achieve your goal. I have yet to meet many pilates trainers or pilates participants who got a six pack from pilates. I have been training for 5 years and just haven’t seen it. To get a six pack you need to trat your abs just like any other muscle you want to shape and get fit….end of story.
6. Myth: You won’t get firm without a weight machine.
Why: You don’t need weights to build sleek and sexy abs, although some competitive athletes do use them to build extra strength. “Many weighted ab machines aren’t designed for women,” says Lyons. “If you don’t fit into the machine properly, you might stress your body in the wrong spot.” Her advice: Stick to the floor – it’s cheap, effective and available everywhere.
WRONG! Your abs are just like any other muscle…if you don’t use added resistance yo abs will never see the light of day. Having said that you don’t need machines…but you do need resistance.
